The 2008 season started out with a lot of unknowns for Ryan Robertson the driver of the #31 Savage Energy Chevrolet. With this being his first year racing in the UARA-Stars the team was just hoping to qualify for every race and finish in the top 20. Robertson is surpassing everyone’s expectations by finishing 8th for the second time this season in only 6 starts.

Robertson started the day off well at Greenville-Pickens Speedway in Greenville, SC on Saturday. He was 12th fastest in practice. When it came time to qualify, he was the 22nd fastest in the 31 car field.

He was able to move up a few positions in the field, then maintained position throughout most of the race. After he narrowly avoided an accident on lap 109 he was up to the 11th position for the restart. After careful driving during the remainder of the race he finished 8th.

“I am glad I was able to get another top 10 finish for Savage Energy,” said Robertson. “My confidence continues to grow as we get further and further into this season. My crew has been great making sure it is where it needs to be for every race.”

Savage Energy was in full force sampling at the track. They will be sampling again this week at the Dixie Classic Fair in Winston-Salem, NC and Robertson will be holding an autograph signing from 11:00am-1:00pm on Saturday, October 11th in the WCWG CW20 tent.
